-
God, I hate Aaron Harang.
-
Narron ejected 6 pitches into the game, bitching about a called strike 2.
-
good. arguing balls and strikes on the game's fifth pitch is ridiculous
-
WR left the curve high for an RBI single. 1-0 Reds no outs
-
Good. Maybe they'll have as much luck with a 1-0 lead as we do.
-
Good. Maybe they'll have as much luck with a 1-0 lead as we do.
Or not. Wow.
-
Great, Aaron Harang CG shutout incoming now.

3-0 now... still just 1 out. This game could be over before an Astro even steps into the box.

Whatever you do don't think about Woody Williams though. THAT is what will really fuck this team over.
-
Damn it, I even decided to try Noe's suggestion, so I came home and mowed the yard. I come in, shower, and then turn on the TV, only to find out that we're already down 3-0.
Maybe the Fort Bend guy wrote that winning the series was "practically impossible" because he read strosrays' preview and saw that Wandy was on the hill tonight.
-
Man, it's like Lance has no idea what's coming. Nice swing by Lee, though.
-
Lee is one at-bat late with that one. Ah well, I'll still take it.
-
two out RBI double Lee off the wall to the left of the Crawford Boxes. Ensberg scored from first without a throw home.
2 run game now, and it's early
-
Whatever you do don't think about Woody Williams though. THAT is what will really fuck this team over.
Fuck that. After that inning it should be evident to even the most moronic that Woody HAS TO GO.
-
Tonights Dodge Ram Question...."What would Mike Lamb do if he were invisible?"
seriously, that is it.
-
fucking Cheater with another double.
-
Tonights Dodge Ram Question...."What would Mike Lamb do if he were invisible?"
seriously, that is it.
"What if... Spartacus had a Piper Cub?"
-
Has Wandy ever gotten Junior out?
-
Gotta love JD. Comparing the NL Central to Monty Python's "Twit Race".
-
Wandy nuts up and gets out a bases-loaded, one-out situation (after a Biggio error). Maybe that'll be a spark for everybody else.
-
And then the offense quickly puts his ass back out there
-
I miss Freel
-
Hopper is quickly becoming Pissant3.
-
Wandy's hanging in there, gotta give the little guy credit.
-
Wow, magically white bunnies are just pouring out of Wandy's ass.
-
El Caballo continues to run like he's dragging a tractor tire.
-
Aaron Harang is not a good-looking man. However, he appears to have turned into quite a good pitcher.
-
I bet Greg Lucas was looking up pictures of Ashley Judd's tits instead of looking up her Golden Globe nominations.
I know I was.
-
One more reason to hate Matthew Macanagheheyeaiy.

Wow, magically white bunnies are just pouring out of Wandy's ass.
This made me laugh.
Ashley's picture did not make me laugh, but it did make me smile.
-
Lane is awesome.
-
Lane is awesome.
I like his attempt to adjust his eyes after taking a deadnut, down the middle, thigh high fastball on a 3-1 count.
-
Lane is awesome.
Can Garner please explain how Lane gives you a better chance at a hit than Wandy?
-
Can Garner please explain how Lane gives you a better chance at a hit than Wandy?
Wandy put a good stroke on the ball last time up. He got jobbed on a nice play by Castro (or whoever is playing second).
-

Lane was a winner at every level. he is also out of options, so even if he bats -.342, we are bound by the CBA to keep him on the roster, or face the wrath of a Trident wielding Sheriff Blaylock and his posse of rabid, switch blade toting wolverines.

Then I say, bring on the Wolverines.
-
i think i officially hate this Hopper character. 3 for 3 with a walk. fuck, is that what a leadoff hitter looks like?
-
Cue pravata...
-
It's pretty fucking depressing to feel like a 3 run lead is completely insurmountable.
-
Nice relay from everett.
-
And yet another fantastic play. It doesn't get much easier in tossing someone out at home.
-
It's pretty fucking depressing to feel like a 3 run lead is completely insurmountable.
especially considering the Astros are facing the worst pitching staff in the league.
-
This squad is going to break the crap out of that club record for a losing streak.
-
Nice relay from everett.
That was definitely a lousy throw from Everett, but it's likely there's not even the need for a throw if Pence doesn't do his little chicken hop thing out there after picking up the ball.
Meanwhile, Encarnacion finds an acorn at 3B.
-
When Everett got the ball I thought, "this guy's meat." Uh-Uh.
-
When Everett got the ball I thought, "this guy's meat." Uh-Uh.
So did I. I thought they were running him into a sure out.
-

I wish Berkman would find an acorn.
-

It didnt help that Ausmus for some reason seemed determine to keep his foot on the plate, as if there was a force, instead of going and getting the ball. That was definitely a lousy throw from Everett, but it's likely there's not even the need for a throw if Pence doesn't do his little chicken hop thing out there after picking up the ball.
Meanwhile, Encarnacion finds an acorn at 3B.
whatever, that was a routine throw for someone who is so special in the field. And a play that someone who bats 200 HAS to make every time.
-
More Christmas presents for Drayton to buy.
-
On a losing streak bright side, Mr. McLane has a new grandson. Congrats.
-
More Christmas presents for Drayton to buy.
I bet he don't buy high profile presents.
-
It's pretty fucking depressing to feel like a 3 run lead is completely insurmountable.
F-E-E... uhhh, wait... you spelled "know" wrong...
-
Could Dunn be had at the break?
-
Could Dunn be had at the break?
Not by this team.
-
Could Dunn be had at the break?
Deja vu... it's like 2004, 2005, 2006 all over again.
-
Stupid Franchitti. Now he has AE throwing like him.
-
Not by this team.
Well if Drayton is willing to throw in the new Grandchild
-
Not by this team.
He and Lance could both play 1st in a constant shift. Even against righties.
-
It's pretty fucking depressing to feel like a 3 run lead is completely insurmountable.
That's a two-night lead for the current crew.
-
Nice piece of hitting by Carlos. A clutch hit by Pence here would be nice.
-
Thunder Pants looked absolutely befuddled by the umpire calling time.
-
Thunder Pants looked absolutely befuddled by the umpire calling time.
He looked more befuddled by that strike call that was 3 feet off the plate.
-
He's thrown strike one to how many hitters? Have they looked or swung? Just got in from church and missed what Brownie said.
-
Could Dunn be had at the break?
idiot Reds announcers are talking about whether they would consider trading away Dunn for Oswalt straight up. At least one of them is smart enough to say "of course!"
-
Whoa, bs strike one call to Pence.
Yeah, Reds are feeling generous
-
Got a big break there.
-
1st and 2nd, nobody out: quoth JD, "This could be HUGE!"
I'm getting another drink.
-
Fidel Castro plays for the Reds???
Come on Luke. The force be wichya.
-
Luke gets a meatball down the fucking PIPE...fouled back. unreal.
-
The inflield fly rule is with him.
-
Dadgumitluke
-
Fidel Castro plays for the Reds???
Come on Luke. The force be wichya.
Oh well.
-
then pops up the next pitch 1 out....with AE and ausmus due up.
-
Stop me if you've heard this before: Scott pops up to the infield.
At least it was in fair territory.
-
Are you kidding me.....Way to go AE.
-
Adam Everett, professional hitter!
Show me... Mike Lamb.
-
AE makes up for the lousy throw
-
I cant believe, A that they sent Lee and B that he scored.
-
RBI single Everett. I can't believe Mansolino sent Lee. I fully expected him to be out by a mile. Thank goodness it was cut off.
-
WOW, we actually scored a run after the first inning and not on the Reds bullpen!!
-
Stop me if you've heard this before: Scott pops up to the infield.
At least it was in fair territory.
If it had been foul, at least they could have dropped it.
-
Don't get me wrong. I'm happy for the run, but once again...Mansolino completely guessed sending Lee.
-
Lee looks like he has a cinder block on each hip.
-
Lamb comes thru here. I feel it.
-
Lamb is .323 lifetime against YouRang. Good thing he wasn't starting.
-
Infield fly twice in the same inning.
-
Ooooh, I thought we were going to get lucky with an opposite field double down the line.
And now it's another fucking pop-up.
-
With the level of traffic on this team, Stephen Hawking could coach third with no appreciable change in performance.
-
Lee looks like he has a cinder block on each hip.
He does. I think they're called Berkman and Scott.
-
Lamb comes thru here. I feel it.
Was gas I guess.
-
I'm going with HR by OP
-
Lamb is .323 lifetime against YouRang. Good thing he wasn't starting.
Because then evidently he could have popped up to other infielders...shit.
-
Palmeiro is due.
-
I'm going with HR by OP
I want whatever you're drinking.
-
Ugh. OP SUCKS.
-
Good god. I'm getting another beer.
-
The fact that JD is giving hitting tips is beyond comical.
-
Well, that was pretty much it. At least YouRang had to throw more than 6 pitches that inning.
-
Good god. I'm getting another beer.
I don't even drink beer and i need one. or twelve
-
that is as hard as OP has hit the ball in a Month. I'd as soon see Woody at the plate.
-
With the revelation by Noe that they are all Christians, maybe they can pray between innings.
-

I'd prefer to release the lions.
-
I don't get it, 2 border line strike calls. Where's the love for the home team?
-
I don't gte it 2 border line strike calls. Where's the love for the home team?
I'm thinking that when you're on an eight-game losing streak and haven't shown any ability whatsoever to hit the ball, the umpires probably aren't going to be very accommodating.
-
Qualls in to pitch. Moehler is changing light bulbs and shining shoes in the clubhouse.
-
I wish Drayton would get Carlos, Lance, Roy, Wheeler, Thunderpants, and Qualls and tell them to endure this year because everyone else will be traded.
-
..I don't have words.. That's not a tough play.
-
Wow.
-
Bidge and Carlos need to get together with a live rooster and talk to Jobu or something.
-
I'm thinking that when you're on an eight-game losing streak...
It is 9, going on 10.
-
Anyone listening to the radio? Milo's partner (whichever one it is) didn't even try to hide his disgust.
On another note - anyone watching on TV that can explain what happened? Both the radio broadcast and MLB.com's Gameday indicate Loretta came out, then OP pinch hit for him. Did Garner actually burn Loretta there, or what?
ETA: Gameday corrected itself, but Milo and OtherGuy (still can't keep them straight) both said Loretta came out, then got called back in favor of OP.
-
In addition to running on Pence, I think people are starting to believe that they should hit at Biggio.
-
Ya'll think we could cry foul on the Jennings injury and get Willy, Hirsch, and Bucholz back?
-

Nine game. I insist this team be given full credit.

Loretta was on deck, but never announced.

Not that I saw. Wasn't announced on TV

Right you are. On the plus side, it appears that my medication is working.

Just as soon as I fix my flux capacitor.

Oh Brownie...hoping for a "wild" eight inning. You're precious.

Gar may have held out Loretta for when there are no runners in soring position.
-
"A wild cut"?
-
Brownie says Pence was "really legging it straight back". Actually, it looked more like a Franchitti-style left turn at Indy.
-
Bite me Laz Diaz. We need help.
-
Harung batting in the 8th with runners on. LOL. He probably told Buddy Bell he would beat his ass if he took him out. You dont get to face a lineup this chalked full of shit everyday.
-
Brownie says Pence was "really legging it straight back". Actually, it looked more like a Franchitti-style left turn at Indy.
Looked to me like Hunter had little to no idea where the ball was hit, and was Derek Belling straight to the bullpen.
-

Stupid Franchitti. Now he's taught Thunderpants how to play centerfield.

Buddy Bell? Is he the bench coach for Cincy?
-
I feel like Bob Ueker in Major League.
-
Right you are. On the plus side, it appears that my medication is working.
Care to share?

Buddy Bell wishes Harang played for him.
-

Does Ashley get to play ball?
-
Just as soon as I fix my flux capacitor.
I am sure in 1985 you can get plutonium in any corner drugstore, but in 1955, it's a little hard to come by.
-
And whoever mentioned Harang being funny looking above is right on. He looks like a guy who should be selling routers or XM radios at Circuit City.
-
They'd have to go back weeks to find an Astro blast. So now they are showing the other team. Thats great.
-
Thank you Bidge.
-
The old man gets a double. Well, it is the eighth. We do have hope.
-
I'd heard of Griffey's lack of speed, but turning that into a double for Biggio is outstanding.
-
Buddy Bell? Is he the bench coach for Cincy?
I thought that is what Milo said when I was driving back from getting food.
-
Looked to me like Hunter had little to no idea where the ball was hit, and was Derek Belling straight to the bullpen.
Luke was waving like crazy to call off Gunther.
-
Way to go Biggio. Come on Mo. get a friggin hit.
-
Senor Tres Mil, going to right field is a good thing, do it more often.
-
Ensberg starring down a 270 foot popup to CF is awesome.
-
I got 5 bucks that says Biggio gets stranded.
-
I thought that is what Milo said when I was driving back from getting food.
Wouldn't be surprised if Milo said that, but it's actually Bucky Dent.
-
Way to go Biggio. Come on Mo. get a friggin hit.
Nevermind.
-
Puma hit that on the screws.
-
Berkman has got to turn the switch.
-
We are within 1. Strike out Carlos.
Did ya hear that BBGs?
-
Senor Tres Mil, going to right field is a good thing, do it more often.
It seems like he actually has been trying to do that more this year. He's had several hard hit balls to RF, unfortunately a fair number of them have been caught.
-
nothing wrong with his last AB, took a outside pitch and smoked it the other way, just right at someone. He still got the run in.
-
We are within 1. Strike out Carlos.
Did ya hear that BBGs?
Screw you BBGs. I am turning into a baseball atheist.
-
That commercial is creepy.
-
Keep it close, Lidge.
-
Loretta likes U2, A few good men, AND HITTING WITH RUNNERS IN SCORING POSITION, GARNER.
-
Screw you BBGs. I am turning into a baseball atheist.
Don't do it: they're testing you.
-
That commercial is creepy.
What the fuck is that about? And can I assume that if I were watching the Cincy broadcast of this game, the guy would have a 4 way on his head instead of an Astros hat?
-
Frustration gum.
-
Juuuuust a little high.
-
Holy crap, Hopper made an out
-
Frustration gum.
Yeah, I wonder if that has pieces of rock in it?
-
Don't do it: they're testing you.
Screw 'em. I am this close to worshipping Baseball Satan.
-

4 way?
-
Just two fly outs to the outfield tonite. Everything else was fielded by an infielder or a strike out.
The Maytag Repair Man could have been out there tonite.
-
4 way?

Good, quick appeal Q.
-
On the bright side, Nails ERA is falling like his teammates batting average.
-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cincinnati_chili
looks good. But that would be even creepier.
-
He really looks like he's starting to get it back. He's even got a little bit of that ol' JR-style wildness to keep the batters loose.
-
Plunk him in the head, Nails.
-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cincinnati_chili
Cincinnati chili sounds very weird. A friend from Cincy brought some to a NYE party I was at this year and it tasted like it had cinnamon in it. She said the other famous kind of Cincy chili has chocolate in it. Thank you, no.
-
I liked the one where the robbers broke in the house and then quit busting up stuff because they homeowners were Astro fans.
The robbers must have felt sorry for them.
-
Lamb, that was the lamest answer ever.
-
How about instead of making fucking mood bottles, you try to brew a beer that doesn't taste like pasteurized foot sweat?
-
holy motherfucking attem balls. god hates this team.
-
I've always wondered what Mike Lamb would do if he were invisible.
-
What the, aaaahhhh, another beebee out
-
3 pitches, 2 outs.
-
3 pitch save????
-
Why wouldn't YouRang throw a complete fucking game?
-
Way to save Loretta. We need him after the game.
-
I've always wondered what Mike Lamb would do if he were invisible.
This month, Lamb has been invisible.
-
1 more loss to tie the club record.
-
Shitfuck.
-
Sean Berry better be checking the classifieds right about now.
-
Fuck. Double digit losing streak.
-
20 friggin complete games thrown in all of MLB this year and 6 of them have been against the Astros. :o
-
The Astros have a soccer offense.
-
Lost in all this is the fact that we just lost a home series to what was (before this series) the worst team in baseball.
Stand pat, Tim. All is fine. All. Is. Fine. It's just a phase. We're not this bad, we're just bigboned.
-
Way to save Loretta. We need him after the game.
Had to save a PH for the P, just in case.
-
Boys and girls, baseball satans is the way to go.
-
Jimmy Wynn is a handsome jack.
-

Heard that too... doublechecked. 36 in MLB, 20 in NL. So, we got that going for us, which is nice.
-
Jimmy Wynn is a handsome jack.
Have we won since he signed on with the Astros? Maybe he brought the bad luck.

Oh. Thats much better.
-

I don't remember the last time we won. So I'm not sure.
-

Better as in only having nut cancer instead of Ebola...

He works for the Astros?

Thats what I meant.
-

Yep, just checked. Press release was May 20th. First day of the losing streak.
ITS ALL YOUR FAULT WYNN.
